The trousers in my poster represent the coalition, which is a highly probable outcome of this general election. I have arranged the leaders in a way that suggests who would work with who: David Cameron and Ed Miliband on either side and all the others fighting in the middle.

This piece represents the run-away threat of nationalism, showing an example of what could happen if a far-right group took over the U.K. In this collage poster, the imagery speaks for itself - UKIP have took over England, using a yellow and purple military to control the population as the party spirals out of control. They are holding a rally in central London, fuelled by a hatred of everything that isn't UKIP(ian).

The UK's housing market is becoming a playground for the rich and the housing developers are winning. Councils, tenants, home owners and first time buyers are all affected. Who's going to put an end to the housing game?

The SNP are predicted to hold more power in the next parliament than ever before, meaning that they could potentially block English-backed legislation. Scotland still want another independence referendum and feel strongly that if the UK pulls out of the European, they will become independent. This poster aims to show how much power the SNP hold and questions whether it is fair that only one of four countries can decide this.

Young people are feeling apathetic towards politics and people like Russell Brand are suggesting that we simply not vote for anyone. This is not a good thing in such a close election. The scottish independence referendum showed us that there is no reason turnout shouldn't be higher.

The politicians we are exposed to are so far removed from spontaneous or free self expression that we often question whether or not they are even human. We need to be led by those with an ability to feel.

Personally I am frustrated with the campaigns for the general election. I feel I'm not being represented by fleshy middle class men, the differences between policies are hard to find, and debates quickly boil down to the kind of backstabbing and smearing I recognise from school.

Save the icon of London. The traditional, safe and knowledgeable trade known worldwide is getting jeopardised. This is only the start, once the government cuts corners with one trade, the rest will follow, therefore the place of the working Briton is in the greatest peril. Will you let the government put a price on your livelihood?

The idea behind this poster is based on the cat that lives in 10 Downing street, otherwise known as the 'Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office'. If we vote badly in the election there could be a much more threatening 'fat cat' living there.
